GEMINI (May 21 to June 21) The moon’s in Taurus today and you have much to learn from your earthy zodiac neighbour. Like being less hasty and more hard working, and less procrastinating and much more productive.

CANCER (June 22 to July 23) You have the ability to influence and teach others in far-reaching ways. The more you praise and encourage colleagues and friends, the more positive and productive you’ll all feel. Lead by example.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23) Tend to work matters or regular chores as soon as you can. Then you’ll have plenty of time to do what you really want to do at the end of the day. The more organised you are, the more you’ll accomplish.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23) With the moon in fellow earth sign Taurus, your attention to detail is even better than usual. So any work you do will be of a high standard as others sit up and notice your numerous talents.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23) The Taurus moon helps others view you in a more down-to-earth way. Joint finances and research projects are also highlighted today, as you tackle things in a careful and creative fashion.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22) Expect plenty of phone calls, emails, texts, tweets and snail mail today — especially from loved ones. Strive to handle a perceived communication problem in a practical and perceptive way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 to Dec 22) The more you rush activities, the more overwhelming the day will be. The Taurus moon encourages you to approach routine tasks much more methodically, one steady step at a time.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20) Creative projects, hobbies and sporting activities are favoured as the Taurus moon increases your motivation to get things done. So make the most of the steady energy boost while you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19) Don’t waste time being disorganised. The more practical and disciplined you are, the better the outcome will be. It’s also a good day to nurture loved ones and network with colleagues.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20) The earthy Taurus moon helps to ground your flighty feelings. If you have to speak in front of a group of people, then make sure you have something substantial — and well prepared — to say.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20) Stop running around in a fluster and focus on calming down a feisty friendship issue. Clear communication — and good listening skills — will get things back on track again.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20) The Taurus moon links up with Neptune, which means being practical and perceptive will take you far today. If you have to make a tough decision, then listen to the wisdom of your inner voice.
